Just in case you don't know what really goes on inside 'responsible' salmon farms, here's video footage shot at Bakkafrost in Loch Carron. Nothing to see here - Scottish salmon is RSPCA Assured

I saw Linnets drinking today from what was a concrete culvert just a few weeks ago. Well chuffed, plenty more piped ditches to rip up next year

While it may look pretty, Himalayan balsam is a invasive plant damaging the UKs rivers. It can grow 7m high, produce up to 800 seeds per plant and shoot them up to 7m away. A 🧵about this invasive species 👇

Today is Spotted Flycatcher day here on the farm! About 6 feeding from this habitat. I think the mix of dead trees and low tree branches extending out helps. Also water and insecticide free dung in sheltered locations. #bestbirdintheworld #spottedflycatcher Nature Friendly Farming Network

Thanks Eddie Bailey of The RhizoPhyllia School of Gardening for getting me this signed copy of awesome Hamza Yassin's book. Just finished it 👍Hamza's enthusiasm is off the scale for each of the featured birds. The perfect book for people getting into birds.

Brilliant, how do we get plant hire firms to lend diggers for conservation projects 🤔 I've friends that have lent me machines but there's only so often I like to ask.
